They did it to themselves with the help of unions, gross mismanagement and ignoring the imports and their customers. Those CEOs have no business raking in millions of dollars every year when their companies are struggling to stay afloat. There are assembly line workers, many of whom don't even have a high school diploma but are making $40-50/hour, when the average Joe earns $28/hour and an assembly line worker makes far less. Then they wanna go on strike when management says "no" to one of their demands. There's something fundamentally wrong with that whole thing. The bottom was going to fall out sooner or later and now it's payback time....
